Talk Radio

How many here listen to talk radio, what shows do you like?

I listen to a lot of talk radio since I drive a lot, more interesting than the other radio stations in this area.
I mostly listen to conservative talk radio, but will listen to some NPR shows and try to listen to Car Talk if Im on the road when its on.

Neal Boortz seems to be the most interesting out of all of them, seems to have good stories, commentary and The Georgia Cat Chasing Championship was pure awesome.

Been playing lots of GTA3 lately so love listening to Chatterbox hosted by Lazlo.

On a more serious note, the "Shock Jocks" in Australia are horrible so I avoid Talkback radio as much as possible. It's all about pushing their stupid political agendas, making fun of dead people, jokes about the rapes of little girls and prank calls to the UK (3 very serious talk back issues that came up in 2012 here).

When I listened to talk radio a lot it was mostly Tom Leykis, BJ Shea, and the Men's Room. Many great memories I have from these awesome broadcasters.

"There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you." -Mazer Rackham - Ender's Game Orson Scott Card

So is Hannity, come to think of it, and Rush is even worse. Honestly, most talk radio is just nonsensical ranting about the impending Marxist takeover.

Yeah honestly I'm not sure how Bortz got the following he did. He's not funny, he just says the same thing as everyone else, and he's a complete ass to his callers, yet the right treats him like an intellectual legend.

On Saturdays where I live, we get Car Talk, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and This American Life all in a row. All three are fantastic, Wait Wait is my favorite, it's a quiz show with questions from that week's news, it's always very funny and you learn a lot. I really like a Prairie Home Companion, but it is not for everyone.
